It's a win/win; the left can boycott companies that advertise on Beck and we can boycott the one company that has pulled out of FNC all together. Democracy at it's finest. Below is the contact info for UPS:

Thanks for the info! I have to send a gift to my cousin and was going to go with usps. Think I'll go with UPS now, and send them a little note as to why. Thanks for the link!

GO BROWN!!!!

I do understand that they have only temporarily lifted advertising on Fox "News" Channel. I'm guessing they'll return and the OP can then unwad his panties.

FedEx does the same thing and unless things have changed FedEx has better prices...

I wrote UPS to let them know that I would discontinue my business with them until they pull their advertising from MSNBC. I'm a frequent seller on ebay so I generate a lot of business for them, but not any longer.

Are you serious. Just because ups does not agree with fox news does it grant you the opportunity to boycott them. All that means is if somebody disagree with " your " views, you are going to protest against them. Is that what the NAZIS did to people ???

I think its a well known fact that right wing extremist do indeed share tangible links with Nazi's. Much of this boils down to them being enemies of the United States and its people.

Have you been asleep for the last week? This thread was in response to a radical racist leftist group calling for a boycott of any businesses that advertise on Glen Beck's show. UPS went on further and decided to pull all adverts from FNC. Could you provide me the link to where you wrote the same thing in the Glen Beck thread? Thanks

FYI the Nazi's were socialists, i.e. leftists, not right wing. They advocated forced abortions, media censorship, the banning of guns from its citizenry; etc. Does that sound like the modern day conservatives, or liberals. Be an independent thinker and not a puppet for your radical leftist sociology professor and you'll be the better for it.
